Save the Children is an international NGO that works to make children’s right to survival, development, protection and participation a reality worldwide. It was founded in the U.K. in 1919, and is currently at work in approximately 120 countries. The UN and the governments of many countries have a high regard for Save the Children as a pioneer of children’s rights, and we have achieved breakthroughs in the way the world treats children.

Save the Children Japan was established in 1986. We are active in international programs in fields such as health and nutrition and education. When conflicts or natural disasters occur, we provide emergency and humanitarian responses. In Japan, we have actively addressed issues of child poverty and child abuse, and have also conducted various programs in response to large-scale disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake and Kumamoto Earthquake. Through these programs, we work to make children’s rights a reality.
